Elliot

I knew y'all were a creative bunch, and I was pretty impressed with your guesses as to what those things in the last post could possibly be. They weren't water pots or Christmas ornaments or even socks for Smurf legs.

The legs part was right, though.

Meet Elliot.



The pattern is Elefante, by Susan B. Anderson.

The yarn is leftover Cascade 220. Well, it's not really leftover, since the project I was using it for isn't finished, but we can pretend, right? The pattern calls for six colors, and I only used four. I started the body with six colors, hated it, and started over using only the four colors I used for the legs. I love him (and so does my aunt!) (She told me to say that.)

I used US 3 dpns instead of 4s, for a little tighter knit. I also used buttons for eyes instead of embroidering them on.



I started him Tuesday night, and finished him this morning around 2:30am. He's a gift for my aunt, who is visiting my mom this week. Since I am also visiting my mom, it was the perfect chance to give him to her!
